Yep, works fine. E.g. as long as you don't use a path (notepad wouldn't understand it), "notepad file.txt" works fine to edit file.txt in the current dir. Note that you'll have to remember and use d2u on any script files you edit with notepad or wordpad etc. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
